#they've been saying this ever since the finale aired and it drives me CRAZY #have your personal opinions all you want but to say that 2x08 was objectively a weak episode is simply not correct #cinematography acting vfx choreography music EVERYTHING was at the absolute top of its game #and despite being an Exciting Battle Episode it was completely anchored in character moments & emotional resonance which is no easy feat #so much going on yet there was time for every major character to get a huge developmental/emotional beat #(yes even those like nynaeve whose beat was a loss rather than a victory) #every season arc was either wrapped up in an immensely satisfying way or was set up for a deeper examination next season #and 90% of the general audience absolutely loved it #and yet reddit acts like it's an Accepted Fact that it was poor quality #just bc the book-to-show changes in that episode weren't to THEIR PERSONAL taste #touch grass #wot #seeing as season finales will always have the biggest moments it's kinda inevitable that hardcore book fans #will always be the most sensitive to any changes made in those particular episodes #not to mention that the changes made in eps 1-7 will snowball and culminate in the finale #so i feel like finales are always gonna be judged the most harshly by readers #like if dumai's wells isn't an exact 1:1 recreation of the book version #readers are 1000000% going to flip their shit no matter how objectively good the show's version actually is #wot book spoilers #for the replies

It's everyone in Henford's favorite holiday, Farm Day. The entire Hammond-Murphy family spent their day out on the farm showing their appreciation to the animals and crops that have sustained their household.

I'm Wesley Crushers biggest fan I give a little cheer everytime he pops up on screen, he gets to do whatever he wants. "But he commited space genocide!" Okay and?? He's just going through a phase leave him alone

#wesley crusher #I'm not even done with season 1 and I can't think about wesley for too long or my head will explode #I want to wrap him in blankets and throw him at riker his mom data and geordie and say Hug this guy #I soooo want to ask adult traveller!wesley many many questions #first off. do you get therapy sir #star trek #star trek the next generation #star trek tng

I made a thing! Some clips I collected from season 1 during my re-watch of TNG that convinced me Data has something going on emotionally. If you’re wondering where one of the more intimate scenes is I’m saving that for a different video ;)

Star Trek: The Next Generation, 111 (Jan. 9, 1988) - “The Big Goodbye”

Written by: Tracy Torme Directed by: Joseph L. Scanlan

The Breakdown

Picard is prepping for an especially stressful diplomatic mission wherein he is required to recite a specific speech in a complex alien language with a species that is deadly serious about grammar; Empasis on the word ‘deadly’. Noting his mounting anxiety, Beverly Crusher writes Picard a prescription for… a play date on the holodeck, and amazingly Picard takes the doctor’s orders to heart.  In fact, Jean Luc has such a good time playing a noir private-eye thriller that he invites Beverly, Data, and the ship’s 20th century literary buff along with him (his name isn’t important, because we’ll never see him again).  Unfortunately, this transpires at the same time that our Grammar-specific aliens arrive, pre-emptively scanning the ship, which accidentally locks the holodeck and takes the safety protocols offline in one fell swoop (which seems like a pretty substantial design flaw).

While Picard misses every single advance that Crusher makes towards Picard (and folks I gotta tell you, she’s REALLY not being subtle about it), the holo-adventure begins to take a turn for the worse as the program’s mobster-villains show up with fully lethal weapons, which they happily use on Picard’s history-nerd friend (who remarkably survives, but barely). Meanwhile the literal-grammar-nazi-aliens are getting impatient with Riker’s inability to produce Picard for their scheduled meeting (apparently explaining that a ship malfunction has Picard temporarily incapacitated isn’t a viable option).  Thankfully the holodeck door eventually opens, and Picard is able to convince the mobsters to walk through first, causing them to disappear (since there are no holo-emitters in the corridor).  And so Picard is free to deliver his nonsense speech to the grammar enthusiasts, and the day is saved.

The Verdict

Finally! A holodeck Episode!

‘The Big Goodbye’ gives us our first “just-for-fun” episode and it’s about goddamn time. Oh don’t misunderstand, the episode is exactly as ridiculous as what I’ve described above, but for the most part it’s intentional, and in this case it makes all the difference.  I’ve always had a soft spot for holodeck stories, because it gives us a look into what the crew get up to when they aren’t spouting techno-babble, debating the prime directive, or dealing with transporter disasters.

Picard also gets to have some fun here, meaning this might be the first time he doesn’t come across as a total buzzkill. Aside from some clunky pacing and a slightly anticlimactic ending, this is a pretty fun episode.  Superior holodeck adventures would follow, but this one had to walk so the others could run.

3 stars (out of 5)

Additional Observations

Based on what we've seen this season, it would seem that the holodeck is still a fairly new technology, especially considering how Picard marvels at what it can do.

Right off the bat, this episode clearly establishes that holodeck characters are/can become self aware, and are capable experiencing fear (and likely pain). This is just the first of many times that Star Trek will play at this across multiple shows. As fun as these episodes are, it’s always struck me that there should be a greater ethical consideration for Holo-people and their rights.

I have always wondered why the ability to remove safety protocols was ever an option, especially on a holodeck that’s accessible to both crew and civilians alike.

Picard has no business being so clueless about women. In fact when it comes to relationships and courtship the entire crew seems to possess the emotional intelligence of an average 14-year-old.

I gotta hand it to Patrick Stewart, even when he’s spewing absolute nonsense alien gibberish, he commits 100%.

I never mentioned the set design, but this episode also looks great.  Really fun to see the noir aesthetic on Star Trek.

while I'm at it I've always found a lot of the criticism of season 1 unfairly harsh and I think the show benefits overall from having such a slow build up. it let us get to know the characters and world and stakes before plunging us too fast into the main story and there's so much in b5 that simply would not have been as affecting without the groundwork in s1, particularly regarding londo and g'kar's arcs

#babylon 5 #if you skip season 1 on rewatch you're missing out #b5 in general gets better with every watch but especially season 1 #and yeah thats a good thing btw #if a show is only interesting because you dont know what's going to happen next thats bad actually lol

[uglygirlstatus]

what would you recommend I watch after riverdale now…I have nothing…it was the only show

No literally it was the only show…. Truly nothing else compares or will ever compare.

THAT SAID. WATCH DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION (and its sequel series Degrassi Next Class. You could also watch the original Degrassi series from the 80s but I haven’t watched those so can’t vouch for them). there are like 400 episodes so it’ll keep you busy. The Degrassi franchise invented teen drama. It’s obviously more grounded than Riverdale and has a majorly different feel since the actors are all teens but Degrassi is my other television best friend. It also has really off the rails storylines that still have strong emotional heart and beautiful amazing delightful characters. Also Fiona Coyne ran so Cheryl Blossom could fly (mean crazy rich girl to lesbian pipeline with dubious means to acquiring wealth and hijinks related to organs and questionable relations to her twin brother.) if you’re in Canada I think all eps are still free on YouTube and I think it’s free on Pluto elsewhere.

otherwise I also recommend Yellowjackets. I know there are people who scoff and roll their eyes at Riverdale yet love Yellowjackets and they’re wrong I think they are kindred spirits in many ways. Also Doctor Curdle Jr and Donna Sweett are there in both shows. I know some people got bored of yj partway thru and tbh I think bingeing it does it a disservice and makes it feel draggy so take ur time

in a completely different vein I also recommend Derry Girls bc it’s one of my fave shows ever. It’s like if Always Sunny were all teenage girls in 1990s Ireland

#I’m going to reblog some degrassi highlights for you after this #I love degrassi it’s so much fun I’ve watched all 400 eps all the way through twice and I’ve seen next class 4x #If you get bored during season 1 of next generation just skip to season 2 you won’t miss THAT much #ask #if I think of more I’ll reblog this again but I’m rly not a huge tv guy sadly

that lighting difference is a killer.

Controversial Star Trek opinion:

I like Riker, but TNG would've been better with Ro Laren as first officer.

#riker definitely can stay though! he would just do something else on the bridge. pilot maybe? TNG needed more regular pilots #either way ro laren should've been there from season 1 i will die on this hill. #ro laren #blorbo from my shows? #star trek the next generation #au ideas #star trek #star trek tng

don' dweeblog

I was never interested in watching supernatural because of how it treats the female characters but I've been watching an abridged version with her(TM) consistenting solely of the episodes she says I should watch for plot or she likes that one reasons

And dear god do I care about all these normies they're saving and then leaving without another word.

#we just watched the season 1 finale part 1 and dean and sam have just for the first time stopped the demon from killing a lady #and like!!!! #this is an entire normie family! this was you 20 something years ago #standing on their lawn baby clutched in their hands while their home burns #.......and sam and dean just fucking skedaddle??????? no plans made to keep the family safe?????? nothing about yeah that was a demon we th #...think it was after your sixth month old i just had a girlfriend die 20+ years after the first attack so you definitely aren't out of it #also yes supernatural things do in fact exist also also sorry that i just tried to commit suicide in front of you by running back into your #burning house before my brother stopped me. this is a lot to process isn't it. anyway i lied before i did not recently move here. #f: supernatural #in general i think a lot about where scene changes occur. #i often feel that they are convenient to the writers because they don't want to have to write the next part lf the conversation #and it's not the point of the story #but i'm often unsatisfied with them. #suicide cw #m: supernatural
